still beating that dead horse?geeeeeezzzzz!

it is seriously under-funded, which is why Obama signed legislation to delay the deadline for conversion.  That, I believe, was the whole point of putting funds for it in the stimulus.  I would guess that a lot of people do not have TVs and/or digital cable, and the coupons that the stimulus talks about would help those people who would not otherwise be able to afford to change equipment by the deadline.  Changed from Feb to (I think) July.

As far as stimulus for the economy, these coupons act as money which would go to the cable companies which creates more demand = jobs, jobs, jobs. -- people have to hook this stuff up -- people who build converter boxes -- people who make the parts for the converter boxes........etc.

Any time money is spent for, in particular, a product, it creates demand and therefore creates jobs.

And the attack on the moderator is reprehensible.  But it is typical.  Teddy and Lurker seem to be obsessed with the fact of who I am, though truthfully, I could care less who they are.  But the moderator bit is really something.  No respect at all. 

call it the war on terror and yet look at what these terrorists say.  I just don't get it.  We are fighting a war against terrorism.  Why can't we say that?  What is so wrong with calling it like it is.  They are terrorists who want to bomb us and kill us....but OMG....don't call them terrorists. 

Seriously, if I were Obama.....I don't think I'd be comfortable with my wife and 2 little girls living in D.C. with these kinds of threats.

It appears the video that is the subject of this post was pulled from YouTube after Warner Music filed a copyright infringement claim against its producer.  Hopefully, it will reappear soon with no music or different music.  We’ll see.  In lieu of the video, the links that appear below this graphic are well worth your time to review, so scroll down now…

Below are links to news sources cited throughout the video shown in the order in which they appeared in the video:

• The Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act of 2005, www.govtrack.us;

• Barack Obama advisor Jim Johnson quits under fire ,Los Angeles Times, 6-12-08;

• Obama, Education, and Accountability, The New Republic, The Plank, 6-14-08;

• Kids’ protest highlights rich-poor schools gap in Illinois, Christian Science Monitor, 9-4-08;

• Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac blind to bubble, KansasCity.com, 9-6-08;

• 4 Fannie Mae senior execs resign, CNNMoney.com, 9-20-08;

• Nancy Pelosi says Democrats accept no responsibility, The Hill, 9-16-08; and

• Obama Ridicules McCain’s Economic Response, The Washington Post’s THE TRAIL, 9-16-08.

The video was much better and the music was good.  It sucks they took it off, but at least here are the links that this person used to make the video.

this Sam person is going to totally monopolize and bully this forum, before the moderator finally steps in and boots her off? 

 you think, from the beginning of time. It's just now more in the open with the media and technology. It wasn't just "under the Republicans" as you state. It's been going on under the dems, too, and still going on. Look at Barney Fife and some of the others. Some get caught, others do not.

If you look at the websites for contributions, then the pork, you would know what I'm talking about.

Thate 5-3 decision would have been a 5-4 decision, had Roberts not recused himself from ruling due to his prior ruling in the case at a lower court.

Alito and Roberts are Bush loyalists who will vote in his favor every time.  Same with Scalia and Thomas.

Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote the majority opinion, is 86.  This means there is a very good chance that Bush will have the opportunity to appoint a third Supreme Court Justice, thus negatively tipping and fixing the scales of justice for decades to come, long after Bush is gone.  Some radical right-wingers (including Ann Coulter) have publicly called for the assassination of a Supreme Court Justice, and Pat Robertson has been *praying* for another Bush appointment.  If/when that happens, freedom as we know it in the United States will be gone for generations. 

In the meantime, the current Supreme Court ruling won't mean much.  They're already talking about creating a law to make Bush's tactics legal.

Not that even THAT would matter much.  Bush hasn't agreed with Congress' laws 750 times since he's been in office, and he's issued *signing statements* allowing him to ignore the law.

He apparently views himself as having expanded Presidential powers in a time of war.  Maybe that's a large part of the true reason we're at war with Iraq.

I do not understand why so many links are put on this board?

On a blog forum one should put one's own opinion, not what is posted on the internet.  At least one should put it in one's own words.
